A brief overview of the current provisions for impasse resolution at all levels of public employment is followed by a more detailled discussion of policy and practice in jurisdictions that grant the right to strike to the employees of senior levels of government.

The paper analyzes the growing costs of various fringe benefits in Canada and their impact on expanding employment. The empirical evidence is in support of fringe barrier hypothesis but not until labour turnover costs are added to fringe costs. It emphasizes that Canadian data on fringe benefits and overtime are extremely inadequate therefore, at the present time, no conclusive study is possible without collecting data on overtime, describing the causes of assigning it internally in a factory. This study attempted to fill in this gap by suggesting that external factors such as skill shortages and capacity output are not significant determinants of overtime.

The special problems that the MNC presents in the context of the American industrial relations system has led the U.S. unions, to respond with a call for controls on trade. Europeans, in a different context, are responding to the integration of Europe and the imposition of some aspects of the U.S. system by U.S. corporations in Europe.

In this paper some of the factors leading to renewed interest in Manpower in the 1960's are enumerated ; the present course of Federal Manpower Programs is examined and the objectives of these programs are evaluated. It is suggested that the emphasis of the Federal Manpower Programs on economic growth and stabilization of the economy is misguided ; that the Department of Manpower and Immigration has failed to foresee shifts in labour market composition ; and that in the face of counter-productive fiscal policy, manpower programs and objectives as originally conceived do not have the capability to resurrect a sick economy.

This research study examines the attitudes of French and English workers of New Brunswick, and it attempts to show similarities and differences in the attitudes of the two cultural groups. Specifically, the worker's attitudes towards his co-workers, economic benefits, administrative practices, physical conditions, and the work itself are examined and analyzed. Overall, the study points out that there are no significant differences between the attitudes of French and those of English. But the differences are likely to increase in the years to come because of social trends.

Total labour costs can be considered to be a function of the hourly wage, a quasi-fixed component (mainly fringe benefits and training cost) and overtime rate. The theoretical model employee in this paper suggests that an increase in the ratio of quasi-fixed cost to overtime rate leads to an increase in the amount of scheduled overtime work instead of employment. The model, tested with Canadian data, yields statistically significant results.

An earnings identity may be constructed to relate consistently changes in factor earnings, share of income, productivity, unit costs and price deflator. The case of labour is the most relevant, and is readily illustrated by using GNP and Labour Force statistics. These 'global' changes may be linked up in workable fashion with changes in the Consumer Price Index and wage statistics. The attempt to refine the terms of the identity introduces problems of consistency of definition and improves Utile on the crude results.
